“We have to cease the migration of Arab potential to the west; they should be respected in their own countries.”

“We strive to eradicate the commercial borders and obstacles between Arab countries so that we may achieve the dream of economic unity because political unity amongst Arabs has become a distant fantasy.”

“We do not hesitate to help and support the brother, the ill-fated friend or the needy wherever they are. This is our message to the world, and this is the United Arab Emirates.”

“Our aid has humanitarian objectives only; it is never governed by politics or limited by the geography, race, color or religion of the beneficiary.”

“Many leaders promise, we deliver.”

“We have to realize the fact that the Arab nation is a great nation and will remain stable as its roots are solid; what is happening now does not suit it nor its history.”
